I've been researching my family history for 8 years now and it's about time I shared some of my findings.
My father's family come mostly from the North East of England (surnames Hudson, Lamb, Kerss, Pattison, Todner). Mum's father's family come from Birmingham, England (Darby, Pugh, Read) and Mum's mother's from mid-Wales (Pugh, Hughes, Jones).

I really like this! That is a great idea to have an 'on this day' post. If it is OK, I may use it and of course give you the credit for giving me the idea. Not sure that I'll be able to use it everyday but it will sure get me into my files to find out what happened that day. Thanks and nice blog.
